Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

Trade a bloke who has rediscovered his best form? Have you been kicked off Facebook and need the attention?

Just thinking, we have a riches of big men, and with. Toms form being excellent, teams would now be frothing to get him on their list, are we able to trade him out, and pick up a player that fills a n

The mid-season draft is just that, a draft. Not a trade period...

Boomer Harvey anyone?

So he could train with our players and get them used to incessant “I am innocent, ump” sniping??

On Saturday, May 8, club recruiters will get a chance to see some of the best contenders for the mid-season draft feature in the Colgate Young Guns game for Under 23 prospects at Werribee Oval (2.40pm). 

Is it just me that finds it strange that there appears to be no-one aged 21-23 in an u23 match

A key back in case of further injuries would be handy

Also a mature ruck, in case Gawn goes down or needs a breather - as he is getting beaten up every week now.

Ironic that we overlooked Oscar McIneirny when he was playing as a Casey Demon. ?

Former ST Kilda rookie?

Yes.  He has turned into one of the top VFL midfielders (wing/ruck rover).  Has good pace and excellent skills.  Won Port Melbourne B&F in 2019. Has returned this year even fitter and stronger.  Took on some StKilda listed players last week and beat them in the contest and spread.  I guess we are ok for mids but he could play a role on the wing.  I think we probably need a wing/outside pace (Templeton/ Bravo) and/or perhaps another insurance key defender (Coughlan).

But he was available at our first pick and instead went for some unknown giraffe in Lochie Fillapovic.

That's what we recruited Daw for preseason.

I'd like us to recruit one more inside mid type, as it's an area where we look a bit skinny at the moment depth wise.

This is now an important part of our season.. we need to make the most of this draft. Do we need an extra back or another outside runner?

What is everyone's thoughts? this is no longer just a draft to fill spare spots, we need to make sure this is used as a strategic move to add to our list and help with player management.

Agree. We need to drive hard for the premiership.  We have the chance this year. We must believe we can win it.  
 

I think the mid year draft could be a “cover all bases” approach and find  

1st a pacy wing type midfielder

and perhaps …

2nd a taller defender.

 I think we have coverage across forwards tall and small, Ruck, inside mids  and small defenders coverage.

We definitely need a key back as cover for Petty if he gets injured. I say we need a ruck if Daw gets injured. Do we have 3 picks or 2? If we have 3 just the best available.

Looks like Marty Hore may be ready for a late season/finals re-birth if we run into a few injuries, re-joining the group for running this week.....you'd assume 10-12 weeks from there to be fit and smash a mini preseason

I'd prefer him to stay out for 12 months the risk of doing it again is likely.

One of the boys on the Deebrief podcast has a cousin named Will Hart who plays for Oakleigh Chargers. Apparently someone on our recruitment team is interested in picking him up in the mid season draft. Has anyone heard anything about this?

Interesting. 

Will Hart is a 19 year old tall prospect at 195cm.

Has played 3 NAB league games so far. It looks like the theme of the mid season draft for us will be depth for our defenders.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
